Ray Gin Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Wooft, just rattled through 7 episodes of Trapped since finishing my work this afternoon, keeping last 3 episodes for tomorrow evening. What a programme. All the characters are good. Agreed. Love the setting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say What Again Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Just finished Jessica Jones. I enjoyed it, probably not as much as Daredevil to start with, but perfect timing for the return of Daredevil. Nice crossover in the last episode with Rosario Dawson's nurse character brought into it, and Daredevil mentioned. Oh, and she has a truly magnificent arse!

jack D and coke Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 ok so I'd never seen nor had any real idea about Sons of Anarchy until last night. Watched 4 episodes (So I'm giving it a chance.) is this pretty much what to expect from the show or does it get better? Not intentional but I cant seem to get in a lot of these 'big' american series (breaking bad was over hyped mince) I fully expect folk to tell me its the best thing ever but opinions appreciated. SOA is a funny one. I ended up watching it all as i didn't really have anything else to watch at the time and I nearly chucked it a few times. Agree what some say about it being a bit like the A team and a far fetched. The series in Belfast is about as bad as anything ive ever watched but it got good from series 4 on. I ended up enjoying it though. Nowhere near as good as some would have you believe though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JudyJudyJudy Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Agreed. Love the setting. Yeah i love all those Nordic noir shows...Primarily for the setting ! But it does help that they are well made , taunt , great story lines and mysteries and very well acted. " Trapped" was excellent. Also " The Bridge" and " The Killing" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jack D and coke Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 I watched the first season and hated mostly all the characters so just gave up on it.I know exactly what you mean. I found it difficult to take to any of them myself especially after I realised it was Charlie Hunnam from Green Street fame. His cockney accent was bad enough in that and although his American accent was better it's hard to believe they had to use a Geordie to play a badass biker and the Irish accents were really, really bad in Belfast. Just use Irish people ffs!! The Scottish boy always got on my paps though right to the end[emoji1] Saying that it was almost like a different show for me after that and I ended up enjoying it bizarrely. Far fetched nonsense but some decent violence too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSTR Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 8 episodes into sons. Slow so far but beginning to enjoy it and slowly getting used to how far fetched it is.

Carl Fredrickson Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Just finished Bates Motel season 3 and it was most enjoyable, The guy that plays Norman Bates is creepy as fcuk. Saw a fee of Vinyl (REALLY enjoyed that) and 11.22.63. I loved the book of 11.22.63 but within the first couple of episodes it has drifted a bit away from the book. It is still a decent watch but as with a lot of adaptions of books by Stephen King, it isnt as good as I was hoping. Next up with probably be Better Caul Saul (s2) and Daredevil (s) BCS (s1) drifted along nicely and I expect season 2 to see Saul starting to play dirty. Daredevil isnt the kind of show I would normally watch but we did after the hype of it and both the Mrs and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Hoping season 2 is as good.

Rudolf's Mate Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 After seeing is mentioned on here several times I made a start on Black Sails. Felt it was a bit of a slow burner but really enjoyed season 1. Season 2 was brilliant and some of the characters which annoyed me have come right into their own. Highly recommended.

Norm Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Just finished the 2nd season of Daredevil. As good as, if not better, than the 1st season in my opinion. Bernthal absolutely nails it.

They'll make some crappy offer of 10% off for a year or something. Tell them to bolt. After 3 weeks of the notice period, a week before you are due to be cut off, on your Sky Box use the remote to go into 'interactive > my account'. "Press blue for an exclusive offer". 50% off for a year. Not sure Kodi will be for them if they are total technophobes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kodi takes a bit of setting up and a bit of maintenance and a bit of patience. If you struggle with the more advanced computer functions like downloading stuff in steps and knowing where it went so you can find it, then Kodi might be a problem for you. The easiest way is to befriend someone who knows. Get them round the house. Get it installed in as simple a layout as possible and learn how it works in simple form. Someone could make a fortune doing installations for folk. Once set up you shouldn't have to touch it much, maybe a bit of a look by your mate once every 6 weeks or so if you kept it simple.

I've seen all the old favourites like 24, sopranos, lost etc just finished Fringe and currently up to date with Game of Thrones, the following and the blacklist. Anyone recommend something else? (Tried breaking bad but got to episode 5 and gave up!) Go back to Breaking Bad. I watched the first two series and, while I enjoyed them, didn't think they were as great as friends had made out. Get to Series 3 and it just gets better and better. Ended up being the best TV show I've seen. Absolutely loved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
